Tell you more about myself— but in the third person?
don’t mind if she does!
Phoebe Kreutz is a singer/songwriter/bookwriter/lyricist/glockenspielist, born and raised on the then-mean streets of New York City.
Hailed by the New Yorker as “the Kingpin of the Joke Folk genre”, she's brought her irreverent tunes to a million bars, clubs and castles all over America and Europe and has released 4 albums and 3 EPs— including Ma’am of Action on Lose/Lose Records and Leaky Canoe on Frankfurt's Lousy Moon Records.
Phoebe has also written some new musicals including “The Nice List” (starring James Monroe Iglehart as Santa), “In a Sunshine State”, “Awesomer & Awesomer”, "Holy Crap: The Worst Parts of the Bible" and "Go! Go! Gilgamesh!" - which won Best Musical and the Participant's Choice Award at NYC's Frigid Fest.
She's the recipient of the BMI Harrington Award for lyric writing and the Ellen Schwartz Award for Literary Merit in Lyrics. Her musical “In a Sunshine State” was selected for a Rhinebeck residency and the San Diego State New Musicals Initiative.
Other past projects include songs for Disney's "Johnny and the Sprites" and Alex Timbers's "Dance Dance Revolution" (both with frequent partner-in-crime Gary Adler).
But because life is strange, Phoebe may be best known as the "Pizza Nico" in Macaulay Culkin's controversial parody band The Pizza Underground.
